2 ANNIVERSARIES TO CELEB 


Jamestown Ready 
To Honor Memory 
of Louis Pasteur 


The debt mankind owes to 
Louis Pasteur, the French chem- 
ist whose discovery that germs 
are the cause, rather than the re- 
sult, of disease added a score of 
years to the life span of man, 
will be acknowledged this month 
throughout the civilized world by 
both physicians and laity. 

The four outstanding contri- 
butions to health directly due to 
the personal work of Pasteur are: 

Sterilization of instruments 
and hands in surgery; 

The process known as “Pas- 
teurization” which destroys the 
dangerous bacteria in milk and 
kills the microbes of fermenta- 
tion of wine and beer; 

The cause, and consequently the 
cure, of anthrax; 

The cause and cure of hydro- 
phobia. 

As an outgrowth of the two 
latter works, the medical profes- 
sion now has the science of in- 
noculation against disease and 
the fighting of toxins with anti- 
toxins, which has eut down the 
terrible death rate from diph- 
theria to a minimum. 

This month marks the anniver- 
sary of Pasteur’s discovery of

‘Pasteur Day’ By 
Mayor E. N. Jones 


Monday,

oe ae (city) according to a 
proclamation issued yesterday by 
May oregano sd ,» who 
has joined with the mayors of 
many other cities in honoring the 
GIS COVERY mote feet s ai (fill in) 
which occurred this month. 

“The memory of Louis Pasteur 
deserves especial honor not only 
because of the man’s accomplish- 
ments, but because of his char- 
acter,” declared Mayor 

“To that worried, persecuted 
and ridiculed French chemist 
mankind is indebted for 20 addi- 
tional years in the span of life. 
He discovered that germs caused, 
rather than were caused by, dis- 
ease; he preached, and was ex- 
iled from Paris because of it, 
the necessity of sterilizing hands 
and instruments in surgical work, 
and to him the great Dr. Liste 
acknowledged his indebtedness; 
he discovered the cause and cure 
of anthrax and hydrophobia; he 
taught how to ‘Pasteurize’ milk 
and thus make it safe for babies. 

“Medical science owes much to 
him, but with it all he remained a 
devout, God fearing, simple man, 
who sought nothing for himself 
except the right to work for hu- 
manity. The lesson of his life is 
one of simplicity and faith, in- 
domitable courage and determin- 
ation. There have been too few 
such men. It is highly fitting that 
MEM ete ie ho (city) joins with 
the rest of the world in paying 
tribute to Louis Pasteur.”

HOLD ‘PASTEUR WEEK’ 


Think you can arrange to have Hiz- 
zoner make a statement to the papers 
proclaiming “Pasteur Week?” If so, 
you've got the start for a big cam- 
paign on this angle. 


TOWN HEARS SPEECHES 


With Hizzoner awakening interest 
by proclaiming ‘Pasteur Week,” it 
should be comparatively easy to get 
organizations anxious to hear about 
Pasteur’s life. If so, try arranging for 
professors and doctors to give talks 
at Rotary luncheons and Women’s 
clubs. With the town all hepped up 
about science and Pasteur, logical 
move is for them to see show, right? 


DEPT. STORE TIES UP 


With window devoted to furniture 
of Pasteur’s time. Cards and banners 
tell onlookers that store is holding 
special sale of period furniture in 
honor of the anniversary you're cele- 
brating. And if they should want to 
use stills from picture to enliven win- 
dow a bit, we don’t think you'd ob- 
ject particularly. 


POWERCOMPANY,TOO! 


Power company or electrical shop can 
mark anniversary with exhibit show- 
ing great strides made in home equip- 
ment since Pasteur’s time. Modern 
lights, stoves, irons, etc., are set 
alongside replicas of those in use dur- 
ing the scientist’s lifetime. 


PASTEUR’S DISCOVERIES: MONTH-BY-MONTH

actly the same in substance, yet different in behavior)

Medical Society 
Joins Movement 
to Honor Pasteur 


There was a time when Louis 
Pasteur was an object of scorn 
to the medical profession. This 
was more than a century ago, 
when the doctors of France could 
not believe a mere chemist should 
invade their field and accuse 
them of being transmitters of dis- 
ease rather than healers. 

Today the names of Pasteur and 
Lister are honored by every doc- 
tor in the world, and the physi- 
ClanicmO nme tk. (city) have 
heartily acclaimed Mayor.......

of the scientist’s discovery of... 


“The practice of medicine as 
we understand it today, would 
be impossible without the pion- 
eering work of Louis Pasteur,” 
said Dr. 


Oo i ee ; 

“While cases of hydrophobia 
are very rare, there are facili- 
ties for giving Pasteur treat- 
ments in almost every’ well 
equipped hospital. The use of 
antitoxins in various diseases is 
common practice. Pasteur was 
the pioneer there. His greatest 
contribution to science however, 
was one that today is taken for 
LTA teas yl except the most ig- 
norant peop—the sterilization 
of hands and iffruments in even

ATE: PASTEUR’S AND MUNI'S 


Muni Considers 
‘Pasteur’ Is His 


Best Film Role 


Paul Muni considers his role 


as Louis Pasteur, the famous 
French scientist, in which he will 
AP MCAw mab eb, . ...diean cae Thea- 
BUOMAOMMG ME Actes. y » not only 


his greatest characterization, but 
the turning point in his screen 
career. 

Although Muni has given to 
the world such famous characters 
as “Searface,” the gang leader, 
- the escaped convict in “I Am a 
Fugitive,’ and the Slav miner 
in “Black Fury,” this is the first 
time he has portrayed a world 
figure and given a characteriza- 
tion exactly true to life. 

His other roles were largely 
fictional, or composites. Even his 
part in “IT Am a Fugitive” was 
not biographical, despite the fact 
that it was based on the life 
story of the author. 

But Muni makes the real Louis 
Pasteur live and breathe on the 
screen—his make-up is taken 
from photographs of the scien- 
tist, many of the characters in 
the film are historical, and every 
incident is based on fact. 

Pasteur’s life was go dramatic, 
so filled with action, tragedy, ro- 
mance and pathos, that nothing 
else was needed to make it one of 
the most gripping screen dramas 
ever filmed. ‘

Paul Muni Film 
Drawing Throngs 


To The Strand 


Paul Muni’s tenth picture, “The 


Story of Louis Pasteur,” the 
Cosmopolitan production now 
@Rowing at the... Theatre 


as a First National release, will 
take its place among the big 
smash hits of the sereen from a 


box office standpoint, according 
Mee... » Manager of 
—— Theatre. 

So much interest has been 


aroused by this first of the screen 
biographies, for all incidents in 
the film are taken from the life 
of the great French Scientist, 
that hundreds of people are com- 
ing from adjoining communities, 
Where the picture has not yet 
been released, to gee it. 

“The Story of Louis Pasteur’ 
may prove to be an even greater 
box office picture than ‘T Am a 
Fugitive From the Chain Gang’,” 
ae (manager) declared. 

“Muni draws crowds whenever 
he appears in a picture for he 
selects his own stories, and never 
makes a picture until he is gure 
that it provides real scope for 
his artistry. Remember that he is 
the outstanding star of the 
screen, and has been in pictures 
more than geven years, during 
which he has made only 10 pie- 
tures. Every one has been an ar- 
tistic hit—and most of them have 
been big money makerg for the 
theatre. But ‘The Story of Louis 
Pasteur’ seems likely to be as 
big a box office picture as it is 
an artistic success and that’s the 
answer to every showman’s 
dream.” 


And here's another anniversary idea, based on the fact that this is 


Muni's tenth film—and tenth big hit! That's worth a splash 


if anything 


is, SO we've devoted this Page to a big Muni build-up. Look and see 


which stunts you can use, and then start lining up your own local angles.

DECORATING THEATRE 


First of all, you'll want to decorate 
your theatre so that everybody knows 
it's Muni’s tenth. Giant candles and 
banners on marquee proclaim your 
anniversary show. In lobby, stills 
from past pictures, stills of his vari- 
ous leading ladies can all be worked 
into displays. 


AND CONTEST ANGLES 


If you’re interested in contest angles, 
still displays suggested above can 
easily be transformed into contests. 
All you do is leave the names or titles 
out, and let the patrons try filling ’em 
in. Ducats to winners. 


INVITE DRAMA CRITICS 


Since Muni was famous on the legiti- 
mate stage before he went into Mo- 
tion pictures you'll Probably want to 
invite drama critics to see Muni’s 
10th film. And while you're inviting, 
you'd better contact Munj Club in 
town and tell ’em to be Sure to see 
show.

GIANT POSTCARD? 


Giant postcard or telegram wouldn’t 
be bad, would it? Copy congratulates 

uni for swell work he’s done and 
wishes him future success. Patrons 
are invited to sign, and after about a 


week is up, you send it out to the 
Coast. 


‘MUNI SCHOLARSHIP’ 


Dramatic school ties up with talent 
search on Stage. First prize, called the 
Paul Muni Scholarship, provides one 
year’s free tuition at the school for 
winner, while you give out ducats for 
the other prizes. 


ANNIVERSARY TRAILER 


How about a special trailer telling 
folks it’s Muni’s 10th hit? Showing 
shots from past pictures, it can be 
a sort of history of Muni’s work. If 
Price is prohibitive, same idea can be 
worked with a series of Slides. 


BIG CAKE IN LOBBY 


Credit card in lobby may be enough 
inducement to get bakery to make 
up a cake for lobby. Candles and in- 
scription tell folks that it’s Muni’s 
tenth successive hit. After it’s been 
on display for a coupla days, you can 
have gal cut it UP, giving a piece to 
each patron. 


Paul Muni Has 
10th Sereen Hit 
In Pasteur Film 


Paul Muni, acknowledged to be 
the greatest portrayer of charac- 
ter roles on screen or stage, hag 
been in motion pictures just seven 
years, during which he hag ecre- 
ated a new record. 

Every picture he has made has 
been a hit, each has’ been out- 
standing and his tenth film, the 
Cosmopolitan production “The 
Story of Louis Pasteur” which 
opens at the 
tre on as a First 
National release, is declared to 
be his finest and most dramatic 
work to date. 

Muni never plays two charac- 
ters that are similar. His first 
two films were “Valient” and 
“Seven: Faces,” which he made in 
1928. Then he returned to the 
stage until 1932 when two of his 
greatest pictures were produced. 
These were “Scarface” and “I Am 
a Fugitive From a Chain Gang.” 
The following year came “The 
World Changes,” in 1934 he made 
“Hi Nellie” and in 1935 he again 
delighted all movie fans with 
“Black Fury” and “Bordertown.” 

These two great pictures were 
followed by another of an entire- 
ly different type “Dr. Socrates,” 
and now Muni is starring in his 
tenth picture the first biograph- 
ical drama of the sereen “The 
Story of Louis Pasteur,” which is 


basea on 
French scientist.

Lead Off Publicity 


Tickets to Muni 
Picture Free to 
Many Film Fans 


There’s one group of motion 
picture experts of whom the most 
conscientious film fan never 
hears. They are the critics and 
picture reviewers of the “trade 
press,” those publications devoted 
to the interests of the motion 
picture industry. 


These papers have an important 
influence in determining at what 
theatres a production will be 
shown, and how long. Their re- 
viewers see the pictures long be- 
fore the general public even hears 
of them, and they are steeped to 
the eyebrows in picture affairs. 


Rarely indeed do they agree in 
favor of any one production, so 
it ean be easily understood why 
the motion picture industry sat 
up with a jerk when one trade 
paper after another raised its 
editorial voice in paeans of praise 
for Paul Muni and “The Story 
of Louis Pasteur.” 

Now the unbiased opinion of a 
seasoned expert is worth know- 
ing, so when the manager of the 
TERR 2. Theatre booked the Cos- 
mopolitan production “The Story 
of Louis Pasteur” as his feature 
attraction beginning ... eats 
he decided he would acquaint 
as ee (newspaper) readers 
with their reviews. 

But it is impossible to repub- 
lish all the kind things said 
about this latest and best of Paul 
Muni’s films. Ordinarily, the trade 
press experts use much of the 
space alloted to a review in tell- 
ing what is wrong with the pic 
ture. This time, they devoted all 
their space to telling how fine, 
how gripping, how dramatic was 
this new innovation in the art of 
the motion picture—the making 
of a great world figure live and 
breathe on the screen in events 
taken from his own life. 

So the manager of the 
Theatre and the advertising man- 
agey..of 40M; «46-3 a roae (news- 
paper) have decided to ask the 
Bilin tWanig-0fe—..4e4r (eity) to aid 
them in selecting the most salient 
phrases in the reviews in the 
trade press. 

Two tickets to the.... 
Theatre to see Paul Muni in “The 
Story of Louis Pasteur” will be 
awarded those (news- 
paper) readers whose suggestions 
prove most helpful. 

Beginning tomorrow, and con- 
tinuing daily for five days the 
(newspaper) will print 
excerpts from the reviews that 
have appeared in the five leading 
trade papers. 

All that a fan need do to win 
two tickets is to clip each review 
daily, mark or underscore the 
phrase (which should not exceed 
ten words) that in his opinion is 
the most powerful. The phrases 
that are chosen by the greatest 
number of fans as the best will be

tising campaign of the...........

“It is distinguished and gripping drama that blazes a new

Unless you’re in the motion picture business, you ’ve prob- 
ably never heard of Jack Alicoate, portions of whose re-

Jack Alicoate is known to every theatre manager as the 
seasoned, cynical reviewer of pictures for the ‘‘Film Daily,’”’

it represents the viewpoint of an expert who judges from

“The theme of ‘The Story of Louis Pasteur’ is so absorb- 
ing that the film is sure to win terrific word-of-mouth 
endorsement. Paul Muni lends intensity to the role of a 
man whose fight against unsterilized instruments brought 
first laughter, then hatred, and then persecution. The ex- 
cellent cast deserves special commendation.”

SID SILVERMAN 


Variety 


“Warner Bros. have made a truly great picture. It stands 
among the significant works of the screen. Told in such 
fashion as to grip every audience it will reach, ‘The Story 
of Louis Pasteur’ is headed for big acclaim. Profoundly 
stirring as sheer drama, it will widen the range of picture 
venturings. Muni is superb. Seldom has a picturer preview 
shown so strongly shared interest of men and women. Men 


were openly in tears of em 


the audience.”’ 


otional response throughout 


If you were the manager of a theatre that intended to 
show Paul Muni in ‘‘The Story of Louis Pasteur,’’ you 
would, of course, include some part of a ‘‘Variety’’ review 
in your advertising matter. Excerpts of the review are 
printed above the picture of Josephine Hutchinson. 

‘Variety’? as everyone knows, is the weekly magazine 
of the entertainment world. Edited by youthful, aggressive 
Sid Silverman, ‘‘Variety’’ is a fearless critic whose writers 
praise only when praise is due—and praise sparingly even 


then. 


Yet ‘‘Silverman,’’ excerpts of whose review are shown 
above, found only the highest praise for Paul Muni and 
‘“The Story of Louis Pasteur.’’ 


When the advertising campaign 


Paul Muni Film 


When Martin Quigley, famous 
publisher of the “Motion Picture 
Herald” praises a production, it 
is news in the motion picture in 
dustry, for Mr. Quigley is noted 
for the accuracy of his reviews 
and the soundness of his judg- 
ment. 

When he uses superlatives in 
praising a film, theatre managers 
sit up and take notice, just as 
Cindi Mia) eres , manager of the

the new Paul Muni film “The

Part of what Mr. Quigley 


thinks of this picture is published 
here beneath the _ illustration 
showing Paul Muni in his two 
latest characterizations, Louis 
Pasteur and Dr. Socrates. 

There is one phrase in Mr. 
Quigley’s review that will be pub- 
lished in the paid advertising of 
the theatre. If you can find it, 
you'll probably be one of those 
who win two tickets to the...... 
Theatre for the opening of ‘The 
Story of Louis Pasteur.” 

Read the review, clip it, and

Like the other trade press re-

the general public. But every the-

every producer has the utmost

These “trade paper” critics are 
hard boiled experts, who are spar-

on any one picture’s supremacy. 
But the trade press was unani-

This is the first time a film 
play has been based on actual 
events in the life of a great sci- 
entist. All the rich moving drama 
in which Pasteur lived, the ro- 
mance, the tragedy, the thrilling 
action of his career are shown by 
a cast of leading film favorites 
headed by Paul Muni.

Everyone will want to see this

self believes to be the best he has 
ever made. You can see it ag the

think are the best in all three

Tomorrow the review of Martin 
Quigley in the “Motion Picture 
Herald” will appear. 


MARTIN QUIGLEY __ Motion Picture Herald 
“In ‘The Story of Louis Pasteur’ the screen makes a great 
departure from prosaic formula. There is not a single 
trace of theatrical artificiality. Expertly acted and di- 
rected, its power to create and hold interest immediately 
gripped the preview audience and kept it in hushed 
silence all the way through. Here is a picture the worth 


of which is almost certain to impress both mass and class 
alike.” 


Now if you want to win two 
tickets to see this film, there is 
still time. If you have not al- 
ready done so, clip all the reviews 
(the one above written by Chick 
Lewis is the fifth and last) under

words) in each one that you be-

For An Editorial 


Has your paper editorialized on a film lately? 
If not, here’s a film that’s worthy of an editorial. 
See your editor about having an editorial writer 
down to opening, with the understanding that if 
he doesn’t find anything in the film that he can 
honestly editorialize about, he can drop the whole 
thing. It’s worth the gamble, because the odds 
are in your favor, since the chances are he’ll be 
able to write more than one editorial. Or if edi- 
tor prefers, below is an editorial already prepared 
for newspaper use: 


Those men and women who witnessed the new motion 
picture quite fittingly named “The Story of Louis Pas- 
teur,” at the Theatre last night may 
congratulate themselves on having been among the first 
to see the screen enter upon a new—and what will un- 
doubtedly be—a greater field of usefulness. For the first 
time, the motion picture turns biographer, and made clear 
what most of us had forgotten, the debt mankind owes 
to Louis Pasteur, who added a score of years to its 
life span. 


The story of the picture, and a critical analysis of the 
work of the players is printed elsewhere in this news- 
paper. It is, however, a privilege to point out to those 
who do not read “movie reviews,” that here is an alto- 
gether different picture. Here is history re-enacted on 
the sereen—here are historical characters brought to life 
so vividly and convincingly that no one will forget them 
—here is shown the drama, the pathos, the romance, the 
tragedy of the life of a man who dared raise his voice 
against the ignorance and prejudice of his day, and who 
defied kings and potentates alike because he knew he 
was right. 


We wish it were possible for every high school pupil 
to see “The Story of Louis Pasteur.” Teachers of biology 
and chemistry would find their tasks greatly lightened. 


Page Eight 


and interest students is to conduct a quiz on 
Pasteur, preferably with the science class. Idea 
was used on ‘Dream’ as suggested in the press- 
book, and many exhibitors conducted a city- 
wide test on Shakespeare, teachers marking 
papers and awarding passes to students receiving 
highest grades. Local science teachers could help 
you with questions on Pasteur. 


For A Formal Opening 


Every opening the ‘Dream’ has 
had at this writing has been 
formal, and you’d be surprised 
at the favorable reaction from 
the papers. The top hat, white 
tie and tails stuff resulted in 


loads of photo breaks of the 


celebs. Try it yourself! 


Theatre Testimonials 


The ‘Dream’ received testimonials of every sort 
—displayed in lobby, theatre and front. This 
film is just as worthy of testimonials, and here’s 
how they did it on ‘Dream’—angles that could 
be included in your campaign on this one. 
Your artist could make up a lobby testimonial 
to Warner Bros., congratulating them on excel- 
lence of film and asking them to make many 
more of this type. Patrons put their John Han- 
cocks on. Before trailer flashes‘on, manager could 
step up on stage and address audience, giving 
film his personal endorsement, stressing the 
many aspects of the film, and then telling folks 
that they'll be showa redfew °! the exciting scen

doubtless receive many written testimonials 
from social and educational leaders on the film. 
These, displayed in lobby, should prove interest-

See Civic Organizations 


No doubt you’re going to contact civic and social 
organizations. One of the best ways we know 
of. and one that was used extensively in the 
‘Dream,’ was to personally speak at their meet- 
ings. Harry Goldberg of Philadelphia spent a week 
going from meeting to meeting delivering his 
spiel, ending up with a hoarse voice and enough 
seats sold to assure the success of his engage- 
ment. 


Lobby Bulletin Board 


Many theatres used their bulletin boards in the 
lobby in advance of their ‘Dream’ showings, post- 
ing news clips, photos and pressbook stories daily 
advising the patrons of the coming of the film 
and of its many interesting aspects.

“bhe Stary of Louis Pasteur" 


No need going into any long-winded explanations 
of why this film would be of interest to doctors, 
nurses and staffs of hospitals. Here’s how to go 


about telling ’em . . . some new ideas, but mostly 
those we’ve seen actually put in practice—and 
successfully, too. 


LETTER-WRITING 


Writing letters to the doctors, nurses and hos- 
pital workers is just about the best method we 
know of to tell ’em about the film. Stress the 
Louis Pasteur angle when contacting these peo- 
ple—because that’s what they’ll be interested in. 
They're familiar with what this man did for the 
medical profession. 


SPECIAL SCREENING 


There might be enough publicity value in it to 
screen the film before opening to a number of 
the leading medicos in town . . . right in the 
hospital. If you do, be sure that all the doctors 
in town aren't there, because after all, you still 
have to figure on those guys to help fill your 
theatre. 


PHONE NUMBERS AT BOX-OFFICE 


Many of the medical profession will feel that 
they’re neglecting business if they’re at the the- 
atre seeing the film. So tell ’em that if they’ll 
leave their name at the box-office, you’ll be

"THEATRE PARTY 


Get busy right after you book this film about 
arranging a theatre party for the medical pro- 
fession. If you’re in any decent sized town there 
should be enough doctors, nurses and the like 
to fill the theatre. 


COMMENTS FROM THE DOCS 


The M.D.’s will be lavish with praise for the film. 
Get their written endorsements and then use 
the comments of the biggest and best known 
men for your lobby and ads. A trailer could be 
made up locally along the same line. 


CONTACTING MED STUDENTS 


If there’s a medical school in town, those boys 
are would-be prospects, every one of ’em. They’re 
studying along these lines and will be especially 
interested. Tell ’em with heralds, bulletin board 
notes and by getting their instructors to advise 
them about it. 


NEWSPAPER INTERVIEWS 


Might be able to get a big medical expert to give 


an interview to the newshounds on Louis Pas- 
teur, talking about his contributions to science, 
etc. 


FREE RADIO SKETCH 


In addition to dra- 
matic scenes from the 
picture, sketch con- 
tains interesting info 
about Muni. Twelve 


minutes in length, it | 
leaves three minutes ™ 
at beginning and end for picture 
plug. A note to Campaign Plan Edi- 
tor, 321 West 44th Street, New York 
City, will bring you a mimeographed 
copy for each member of cast.

JUMBO-SIZED HERALD 


Another big herald on another big 
hit! Sorry we haven’t room to illus- 
trate it here, because it’s a colorful 
job that should help a lot toward sell- 
ing film. Printed in vivid colors on 
high grade stock, herald measures 9” 
x 12”—+twice the size of the regular 
heralds. Cover and inside spread are 
devoted to plugging picture, with 
entire back reserved for theatre im- 
print. Expensive? Not on your life! 
Price is only $3.50 per M for 1 to 
4M; 5M and over—$3.25 per M. 
Ask for a sample at your exchange. 


Church Is Interested 


Pasteur was a devout Catholic—one of the few 
scientists who was very religious. This suggests 
contacting Church to see if theatre party can be 
organized. If not, a word to the congregation and 
possibly a short talk to youngsters at Sunday 
School might interest them in your show. 


Tell Them About Leiber 


If your town has ever had a Shakespearean pro- 
duction, Fritz Leiber was probably in the cast 
because he’s toured all over the country playing 


in the Bard’s plays. If dr i 
LeIwer, hess ee ama editor remembers 


and he might give you a little plug in his column.

"Be Story of Louis Pasteur” 


FRoieG ore N ZA 1 ON 


A Cosmopolitan motion picture released by First National. 
Starring Paul Muni; featuring Josephine Hutchinson, 
Anita Louise, Fritz Leiber, Donald Woods, Henry 
O’Neill, Porter Hall, Akim Tamiroff. From an 
original story by Sheridan Gibney and Pierre 
Collings. Directed by William Dieterle. 


Fictionized by 
Joseph Jefferson O'Neill 


CHAPTER I 

‘‘You have heard the testimony presented before this 
court. It has been sworn that you entered the home of Dr. 
Armond Frederic, whom you never had even seen before, 
and killed him with two shots from your pistol. What have 
you to say, prisoner at the bar?”’ 

The audience in the little Magistrate’s court in the Paris 
of 1860 leaned forward eagerly to catch the reply of the 


middle-class tradesman who stood 
between two gendarmes facing 
the silk-robed judge. 

“Tt was not murder. It was but 
justice!”? exclaimed the defend- 
ant. “Dr. Frederic wronged me! 
He killed my wife!” 

“There has been no such show- 
ing,” the Magistrate said. “How 
did the doctor kill your wife?” 

“He killed her through his 
carelessness—his dirty hands, his 
dirty instruments. She died of 
childbed fever. He caused it.” 

The men and women in the 
benches looked at each other in 
astonishment. Childbed fever? 
What did the prisoner mean by 
his accusation? Everyone knew 
that about three out of every ten 
prospective mothers in Paris died 
from that affliction. Was it not 
part of the inscrutable ways of 
Providence? The Magistrate

voiced the opinion of aif whet ie 


said, protestingly: 
“But you can’t blame a physi- 


cian for that-” 
“Can't you?” shouted the de- 


fendant. “Here—read this!” 


~ Sie? 


He tossed to the judge’s desk a 
pamphlet whose first page read: 
“DOCTORS! SURGEONS 

Wash your hands— 

Boil your instruments— 
Microbes cause Disease. 
Louis Pasteur.” 

The Magistrate looked casually 
through the booklet for a mo- 
ment, then threw it aside. 

“This prisoner is mad,” he said. 
“Tock him up.” 

Mad? That, indeed, seemed to 
be a widespread belief as to the 
condition, also, of Louis Pasteur, 
author of this pamphlet and of 
many other radical utterances of 
the day. The physicians of Paris, 
almost to a man, ridiculed his 
theories, paid no attention to his 
advice. Seriously, many sought 
his banishment from the city. 

“Why, he isn’t even a doctor, 


Dr. Charbonnet, court physician, 
was discussing Pasteur with Na- 
poleon III, Emperor of France. 
“You may recall that a few years 
ago he was the cause of a slight 


SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTER 
Because childbirth fever was killing thousands of 
French women, Louis Pasteur, a noted chemist, issued 
a pamphlet calling upon physicians to sterilize their 
hands and instruments. When a physician whose pa- 
tient had died in childbirth was killed by the woman’s 
bereaved husband, Pasteur was summoned to the Court 
by Emperor Napoleon III for an explanation of his 
attacks on the surgeons and their methods. 

CHAPTER II 


Louis Pasteur bent over the 
shoulder of his chief assistant, 
Emile Roux, in his laboratory in 
the basement of his home in Rue 
d’Ulm. He was in his middle 
thirties, a man of quick, agile 
movements. 

Pasteur looked into the micro- 
scope. “The (fifty-eighth test 
slide, and yet we have not defin- 
itely isolated the germ of child- 
bed fever,” he said wearily. “But 
we'll keep it up, Roux. Remember 
our aim: find the microbe — kill 
the microbe!” 

There was a knock at the lab- 
oratory door. Marie, Pasteur’s 
wife, entered in high excitement. 
She carried an envelope bearing 
the royal arms of the Emperor 
of France. It was an invitation— 
a command, indeed—for the sci- 
entist to attend a reception that 
night at the Palace. 

“The Emperor!” exclaimed Pas- 
teur. “Marie! If I can only con- 
vinee his Majesty!” 

But that was not to be. So in- 
tense was the chemist in his open- 
ing explanations of his microbe 
theory to Napoleon, that the Em- 
peror, well-balanced though he 
was, believed there might be a 


trace of madness about the man, 
as Dr. Charbonnet had more than 
once suggested. 

“Sire, the hospitals of Paris 
are pest houses!” Pasteur insisted. 
“There is scarcely a doctor in 
the city who is not carrying 
death on his hands and instru- 
ments.” ’ 

And when Charbonnet said sar- 
castically, “Because of microbes, 
Monsieur? Because of your pri- 
vate menagerie of invisible 
beasts?” the chemist was quick 
with a hot retort. 

A chorus of laughter from the 
surrounding courtiers and ladies- 
in-waiting drove away what re- 
mained of Pasteur’s patience. He 
pointed his finger at Charbonnet. 

“Listen! On my way here to- 
night, I learned that a young 
woman—wife of a servant in this 
Court—died, a victim of your 
bigotry. And that isn’t the end. 
The woman who attended her 
will carry the infection to your 
next and more illustrious patient 
—the Countess Gabrielle de Vil- 
lefort!” 

Charbonnet, 
glared at Pasteur.

“At least,” a quiet voice interjected, “Mons. Pasteur should be al- 

lowed to defend himself.’ Napoleon’s lovely Empress was speaking

poisoning in the same manner— 
by boiling our blood; That is not 
unlikely, Sire, I assure you.” 

“But I won’t have it, Charbon- 
net!”? Napoleon pounded his fist 
upon a table. “We’re not living 
in the Middle Ages. This is 
France—Paris—the Nineteenth 
Century—” 

“At least,” a quiet voice inter- 
jected, “this Monsieur Pasteur 
should be allowed to defend him- 
self.”” Napoleon’s slender, lovely 
Empress was speaking. 

The gray-bearded physician 
spread his hands outward in a ~ 
gesture of helpless resignation,

sour wine...” 
“Ah, yes, I recall,’ the Em- 


peror—interrapted. “He claimed 


to have found little animals in it 


—infinitesimal beasts—but are 
there such creatures? Do they 
really exist?” 

“Your Majesty,’ Charbonnet 


Sire?” he asked the Emperor. 
“He accuses me of murder — I 
who brought into the world our 
Empress’s son, the future Emper- 
or of France—” 

“Stop! I forbid any more,” 
commanded Napoleon. “You 
should know better, Pasteur! The 
Countess Gabrielle, whom you 
name, is Her Majesty’s sister. 


“Pasteur, in the preservation 
of wine and beer you have been 
of service to France. We appre- 
ciate that. In the future, confine 
yourself to that work. If you 
have any more theories to offer, 
you will, before publishing them, 
present them in writing to the 
Academy of Medicine, which is 
the proper guardian of our na- 
tional health.” ; 

Pasteur choked back further 
words, and stood bowed. 


“But, Sire, what of the pam- 
phlet this fellow has already 
written and distributed?” The 
speaker was Dr. Rossignol, a con- 
frere of Charbonnet and one of 
the leaders of the Academy. 

“Wor that, Monsieur Pasteur, 
you will publish an immediate re- 
traction or suffer my displeas- 
ure.” ; 

Pasteur turned away. 

When he reached home he 
dropped into a chair and covered 
his face with his hands.

Marie,” he told his wife. “We’re 
leaving Paris tomorrow — for-

Muni, who had won fame by 
his stage characterizations, has 
made one smashing, artistic suc- 
cess after another since he be- 
gan motion picture work, includ- 
ing such outstanding attractions 
as “Scarface,” “I Am a Fugitive 
from -<a°"’Chaini ‘Gang,’ “Black 
Fury,” “Bordertown” and “Dr. 
Socrates.” 

Now, in a sensational screen 
drama, he has a role that is her- 
alded as the greatest work of his 
career. 

Again, as in the chain gang 
picture, he portrays a real per- 
son—this time a man recognized 
as one of the world’s greatest 
benefactors, Louis Pasteur. 

Hated and scorned, a pariah 
and an outcast, branded as a 
quack, a charletan and an enemy 
of man, Pasteur lived to see his 
work recognized and himself. ac- 
claimed as the greatest scientist 
of his age. 

It is this great character that 
Muni brings to life on the screen. 

It is the thrilling drama of 
Pasteur’s battle: for the human 
race, that is unfolded in “The 
Story of Louis Pasteur.” 

Josephine Hutchinson, noted 
stage star who recently leaped to 
fame in pictures, particularly in

the role of a young doctor, one 
of the few who believed in Pas-

of leading doctors of the day 
who fought Pasteur and suc- 
ceeded in banishing him from

at Strand Today 


Paul Muni comes to the sereen 
Ot thet sass ees aaa Theatre to- 
day in what is said to be his 
greatest film characterization, 
“The Story of Louis Pasteur,” a 
Cosmopolitan production released 
by First National. 

Muni portrays Louis Pasteur, 
the great French chemist and bac- 
teriologist who contributed so 
much to science. The story, by 
Sheridan Gibney and Pierre Col- 
lings, centers about Pasteur’s 
battle against ignorance and pre- 
judice, to save life through ster- 
ilization and the use of vaccines 
against disease. 

So bitter against him, and so 
powerful were the physicians who 
hated him, that they succeeded 
in having him banished from 
Paris. But Pasteur did not give 
up his fight against disease. He 
struggled on in a different part 
of France and lived to see his 
work recognized finally and he 
himself acclaimed. 

Josephine Hutchinson plays 
the part of his faithful wife who 
shared his exile and aided him 

in his experimental work. The 
romantic roles are carried out by 
Anita Louise, as the daughter of 
Pasteur, and Donald Woods who 
portrays one of the few physi- 
cians who believed in the great 


chemist.

Bride on Screen Muni Has Finest Role in 


When Anita Louise was a 
child, she played grown-ups. 

When she grew up, she played 
children. 

And in “The Story of Louis 
Pasteur,” the Cosmopolitan pro- 
duction which comes to the: 27: 
SEP lige a Theatre: on 597 eae 
with Paul Muni in the stellar 
role, she plays both a child and 
a bride. 

When Anita was thirteen, she 
played the love interest in “Just 
Like Heaven,” opposite David 
Newell. She was suposed to be 
eighteen yearg old, and she acted 
it. That same year she played a 
young lady in “The Third Alarm” 
and also in “Millie.” 

Then Miss Louise played a tiny 
fairy queen in “A Midsummer 
Night’s Dream.” 

In “The Story of Louis Pas- 
teur,”. Miss Louise is first seen 
as a girl of eleven. Only a dif- 
ferent hair dress and a childish 
costume were needed to make her 
look that age. The make-up man 
had a much more difficult time 
trying to make her look like a 
woman of 22 in the later se- 
quences of the film. 

Miss Louise has been in pie- 
tures since she wag five years 
old. However, it was not until 
she came to First National studio 
that her great talent was recog- 
nized. 

“The Story of Louis Pasteur” 
is a dramatization of the stirring 
events in Louis Pasteur’s battle 
against ignorance and his efforts 
to save life by science. Paul 
Muni has the stellar role while 
others in the cast besides Miss 
Louise include Josephine Hutch- 
inson, Donald Woods, Fritz 
Lieber, Henry O’Neill and Porter 
Hall. 

William Dieterle directed the 
eroduction from the sereen play 
by Sheridan Gibney and Pierre 
Collings. 


“Story of Louis Pasteur’? 


Screen Star Thrills Strand Audience With 
Magnificent Characterization 


Paul Muni has seored again. In the Cosmopolitan produc- 
duction, ‘‘The Story of Louis Pasteur,’’ which was shown 
for the first time locally: at: thespa eta: ds Theatre as a 
First National release yesterday, he has given the world 
not only one of the finest characterizations ever depicted on 


the sereen but has made a real 


motion pictures. 

In a tense, smashing drama, 
replete with action and romance, 
he has painted the turbulent life 
of Louis Pasteur, that amazing 
French scientist whose battle for 
humanity against ignorance and 
prejudice is one of the most as- 
tounding chapters in modern his- 
tory in an amazingly colorful 
picture, 

It is hard to realize that there 
could be such momentous drama 
in Pasteur’s life for in popular 
imagination he is an almost leg- 
endary figure. The story is not 
just one of the microscope and 
the laboratory, although even 
that portion of the picture has 
been made intensely interesting. 
The picture dramatizes his bat- 
tle against the ignorance, super- 
stition and prejudice of the 
times. Physicians high in the 
favor of the court branded him 
as a charlatan and fought his 
every move. So powerful were 
they that they had him banished 
from Paris. 

But this sterling character 
could not be Swayed from his 
work to save humanity, even 
against its own wish. He carried 
on with a few faithful follow- 
ers, turning his back to the scorn 
and hatred of his fellow scien- 
tists. And he lived to triumph 
over them, to be recognized as 
the greatest of them all. 


Paul Muni, famous on the 


contribution to the art of 


ee 


stage before he brought his tal- 
ents to the screen, gives much 
more than a fine characteriza- 
tion. There is no Muni. He has 
entirely effaced himself, and 
makes Pasteur live and breathe 
on the sereen. He is Pasteur— 
working, battling for humanity. 
The spectator is never conscious 
of the actor; he sees only the 
man Pasteur. 

Muni has an exceptionally tal- 
ented supporting cast, chief of 
whom is Josephine Hutchinson, 
who plays Mme. Pasteur the wife 
who stood staunchly beside the 
chemist during all of his trials 
and aided him in his work. Miss 
Hutchinson is a comparatively 
new acquisition to the screen, 
although she long been famous 
on the stage, particularly for her 
work with the Eva Le Gallienne 
repertoire company. 

Miss Hutchinson showed great 
promise in her other films, “Hap- 
piness,” “The Right to Live” and 
in “Oil for the Lamps of China,” 
but in “The Story of Louis Pas- 
teur” she has given a perfrom- 
ance of remarkable artistry, 
which places her among the lead- 
ing feminine players of the 
screen. She portrays her role with 
both sympathy and understand- 
ing.

Expert “Grows” 


Whiskers For an 
Entire Film Cast 


To most people, whiskers are 
just whiskers. They see no 
beauty in a magnificent beaver 
no grace in a perfect Van Dyke, 
no symmetry in a well (Aaiuied 
Spade. 

But there was a time when 
whiskers had their day. Those 
were the years when each man 
raised his own hair mattress and 
when a clean shave was as out 
of place as a home without a 
moustache cup. 

Because of the modern atti- 
tude toward the old-fashioned 
beaver, there are few whisker 
experts in Hollywood. Norbert 
Miles is one of them.

bearded every one except the 
star, Paul Muni, who raises his 
own beavers. Miles is the Dar- 
win of whiskers. He is the author 
of the Miles Spade theory which 
holds that every whisker has a 
meaning all its own. 

There isn’t one split Spade in 
the picture. There are several au- 
thentic Van Dykes, one genuine 
Spade, sixteen semi-Brigham 
Youngs, two full Brigham 
Youngs, twenty-four Sheeps-tail 
or peasant beards, and _ three 
dozen assorted moustaches. There

has ever done. 


Wife Carries a 
Full Dinner Pail 
for Paul Muni 


There are no good restaurants 
in the Simi valley in California, 
where the First National com- 
pany went on location to make 
scenes for “The Story of Louis 
Pasteur,” the Cosmopolitan pro- 
duction, now showing at the... 
e. blag he RATE Theatre. 

Furthermore, in the lunches 
furnished the players by the stu- 
dio, there is no sour cream, green 
onions, broiled sword-fish, cucum- 
bers, radishes, and other such 
delicacies that mean 80 much to 
Paul Muni, star of the film. 

Mrs. Muni, however, solved her 
husband’s location lunch: problem, 
by buying him the most elaborate 
luneh basket ever owned by an 
actor. 

The basket, of heavy wicker, 
is fitted with hot and cold food 
containers, thermos bottles, 
dishes, knives, forks and spoons, 
table cloths and napkins. 

Every day, Mrs. Muni took the 
basket and a folding table to the 
eompany’s location and at twelve 
o’clock, when Muni stops work, 
he sat down to the sort of lunch 
he loves. 

The picture 


is the startling 
drama of Louis Pasteur’s fight 
to overcome the ignorance pre- 
vailing at his time in order to 
save life by science. Besides 
Muni the cast includes Josephine 
Hutchinson, Anita Louise, Don- 
ald Woods, Fritz Leiber, Henry 
O’Neill and Porter Hall. 

William Dieterle directed the 
picture from the screen play by 
Sheridan Gibney and Pierre Col- 
lings.

Film Discipline 
Very Strict, Says 
Miss Hutchinson 


Two Muni Characters 


Stories that have come out of 
Hollywood concerning the tem- 
perament of actors and actresses 
would indicate that there is no 
such thing as screen discipline. 


Josephine Hutchinson denies 
this. She claims that motion pic- 
tures teach more _ self-control 
than the stage ever knew. 


Miss Hutchinson knows both 
the stage and screen. For several 
years she was a stage actress. 
She came td the attention of the 
screen when she played “Alice” 
in Eva Le Gallienne’s production 
of “Alice in Wonderland.” So far 
she has made five pictures for 
First National, the latest of 
which is “The Story of Louis 
Pasteur,” the Cosmopolitan pro- 
duction now showing at the . 
s/hobe hs 5 ar ee rR Theatre. 

Miss Hutchinson has _ never 
been temperamental. But, in the 
new atmosphere of cameras, tech- 
nicians, scripts that were re- 
written on the set after she had 
carefully memorized her part, she 
found herself on the ae of 
having a tantrum now and then. 


“We have only so much ener- 
gy,” Miss Hutchinson points out. 
Film acting teaches one to con- 
serve it. We are called at seven 
in the morning. Eleven or more 
hours of work stretch ahead. We 
must never give way to our feel- 
ings, or valuable energy is burned

appeared at the studio at seven 
o’clock each morning and occu-

make-up department while Pere 
Westmore and Clay Campbell 
raised his hair line, made his face 
broader, added some whiskers to 
those he had grown, and then put 
an entire new skin over the up- 
per part of his face. 

Then the company went on lo- 
eation to Simi valley. Rather 
than drive to the studio and then 
back past his San Fernando val- 
ley home to location, Muni had 
the chair moved out to his house, 
and Westmore and Campbell 
went to his residence each morn- 
ing to make him up.

Role of Pasteur 


Most Colorful 


Paul Muni never really takes 
a vacation. When he completed 
the picture, “Dr. Socrates,” he 
immediately went into seclusion 
on his Encino walnut ranch to 
study the character of the Cos- 
mopolitan production, “The Story 
of Louis Pasteur,” which comes 
Theatre on 
as a First 


National release. 

Muni was enthusiastic about 
the film and spent several weeks 
actually living the character 
which is that of Louis Pasteur, 
the great chemist and bacteriol- 
ogist. 

“T was more enthralled by this 
role than any other character I 
have done on the sereen,” said 
Muni. “This scientist was not 
only one of the few great humani- 
tarians who gave unselfishly with- 
out regard to personal gain or 
glory, but he was the rare com- 
bination of theorist and practi- 
tioner who actually lived to see 
his efforts and contributions put 
into effect and lived to witness 
the saving of thousands of hu- 
mans, mostly children. 

“Ag a character, he has more 
facets than any other I can think 
of. He was 4 giant, with the 
naivete of a ehild. 

“T am grateful for the oppor- 
tunity to attempt a characteriza- 
tion of Pasteur. Tf I have suc- 
eeeded in imparting to the on- 
looker only a small part of him, 
it makes of it my most colorful 
role.” 

The picture is a dynamic 
drama of the battle fought for 
science by Pasteur. Others in the 
cast include Josephine Hutchin- 
son, Anita Louise, Donald Woods, 
Fritz Leiber, Henry 
Porter Hall. William Dieterle di- 
rected the picture from the 
screen play by Sheridan Gibney 
and Pierre Collings.

Lucky Sandals 


Bring Success 
To Anita Louise 


In a gilt and glass cabinet in 
the Hollywood home of Anita 
Louise is a pair of bronzed san- 
dals. 

They are the lucky shoes of the 
blonde young lady who plays An- 
nette Pasteur in the Cosmopoli- 
tan picture, “The Story of Louis 
Pasteur,” which comes to the 
Theatre on 
as a First National release with 
Paul Muni in the stellar role. 

Miss Louise wore the sandals 
the first day she posed as an art- 
ist’s model when she was only a 
child. The toes are worn through 
and the soles are thin, but Anita 
Louise values them as symbols of 
a baby’s first steps toward pro- 
fessional success. 

She started posing for artists 
when she was three years old. 
ee a time she was known as the 
Post Toastie” girl. On another 
occasion her likeness was used 
ue illustrate a much advertised 
Poem of Peace” which was dedi- 
cated to the then President of the 
United States, Warren G. Har- 
ding. 

“T’ll always keep those san- 
dals,” Miss Louise says. “They 
are symbolic of the hard time I 
had getting up the film ladder. 
I was always certain that some 
day I would get leading parts in 
pictures, even though there were 
times when that day seemed a 
long, long way off.”

Queer Questions 


Asked in Making 
Paul Muni Film 


Lewis Carroll’s walrus could 
talk of shoes and ships and seal- 
ing wax and cabbages and kings. 
But he didn’t know if champagne 
buckets were used in 1880, and 
when a bunsen burner was in- 
vented, what a Bowie knife is, 
or how old are bicycle playing 
ecards, how a sling-shot differs 
from a slung-shot or whether or 
not the Hydrophobia Bacilli has 
been isolated? 


Like Mr. Carroll’s walrus, Mrs. 
Maude Bowman, head of the First 
National’s research department 
ean talk of many things. She had 
to know many things, also, dur- 
ing the filming of the Cosmopoli- 
tan production, “The Story of 
Louis Pasteur,” now showing at 
thepepierce). . oenet kel a Theatre as 
a First National release. 

Here are some more of the 
screen playwriter’s questions and 
Mrs. Bowman’s answers: 


Q.—Did Louis Pasteur isolate 
Hydrophobia Bacteria? A.—He 
did not and it hasn’t been iso- 
lated up to the present time. 


Q.—Could a human being be- 
come afflicted with the animal 
disease, anthrax? A.—yYes. 

Q.—Were champagne buckets 
used in 1880? A.—Yes. 

Q.—Did Louis Pasteur smoke a 
straight stemmed pipe? A.—wNo. 
He detested the smell of smoke. 

Q.—Could Pasteur light a 
match or had they been invented 
in 1880? A.—Yes. Matches had 
been in use since the thirties. 

Q.—Would Pasteur’s labora- 
tories include a Bunsen burner? 
A.—Yes. The Bunsen burner was 
invented about 15 years before 
Pasteur began his experiments. 


Josephine Hutchinson is her 
real name, and she was born in 
Seattle, Washington, on October 
12th, 1909. 


Her mother—stage name, Le- 
ona Roberts—is an actress, and 
the daughter was educated for a 
footlight career. She studied mus- 
ie and dancing with the one idea 
that these arts would help her 
in her theatrical career. 


Was educated in the schools 
of Seattle, and won a splendid 
scholarship in the Cornish School 
of Music and Drama. 


Her screen debut was made 
when she was a tiny child. 
Played a “little girl” role with 
Mary Pickford in “The Little 
Princess.” Worked during the 
summer, then returned to school 
in Seattle. Her “talkie” debut 
was in “Happiness Ahead.” 


Made her theatrical debut in 
Washington, D. ©., where she 
played three years in stock. “A 
Man’s Man” was her first im- 
portant play in New York. She 
found her real theatrical niche, 
however, with Eva Le Gallienne’s 
New York Civie Repertory Com- 
pany, in which she played in 
everything from Shakespeare to 
Ibsen to Chekov to “Alice in

Miss Hutchinson 


Wins Big Part by 
‘Courage Beauty’ 


Josephine Hutchinson won her 
greatest screen role opposite Paul 
Muni in “The Story of Louis 
Pasteur,” the Cosmopolitan pic- 
ture which comes to the........ 
Theatre Olas... 5. hae. as a First 
National release, not only because 
of her acting ability but because 
she happened to possess “courag- 
eous beauty.” 

“Courageous beauty,” according 
to such beauty experts as Direc- 
tor William Dieterle, Photograph- 
er Tony Gaudio, and Make-up 
Artist Pere Westmore, is a very 
rare type of beauty, not often to 
be found in Hollywood. But 
many of the pioneer women had 
it. They weren’t all gaunt and 
large and rugged, said Dieterle, 
so when he came to cast “The 
Story of Louis Pasteur,” in which 
the heroine is a sort of pioneer, 
he looked for an actress who had 
that rare quality. 

He found it in fragile, petite, 
delicately winsome Josephine 
Hutchinson. The former stage 
star who went to Hollywood after 
many triumphs in New York, has 
a dainty little chin, with the 
most alluring dimple. But on 
closer inspection it proves to be 
a firm little chin, too. 

Her forehead is broad and fine.

Drama in Pasteur’s Life 


Woman Laboratory Worker Makes Life 
Sacrifice to War on Disease 


It was the week before last Christmas, but studious Miss 
Anna Pabst, 39, doubtless was not thinking of that as she 
patiently pursued an experiment in the quiet of the Wash- 
ington laboratory of the U. S. Public Health Service. 

_ Miss Pabst was seeking a serum which would protect 
little children from deadly meningitis. She was hoping that 


this test—one of many—would 
provide the answer. 

As she bent over a culture of 
the as yet untested serum, her 
hand slipped and a few drops of 
the liquid squirted into her eye. 

A veteran in laboratory tech- 
nique, she knew better than to 
take the accident lightly. She 
washed the eye thoroughly—that 
was all she could do. Then she 
went on with her work. 

On December 21, she was do- 
ing her Christmas shopping when 
a sudden dizziness overtook her. 
She hurried to the Emergency 
Hospital, where she diagnosed her 
own case. Four days later she 
died—and thereby demonstrated 
that the culture she had used in 
preparing the protective serum 
actually could cause meningitis. 

Soldier of Science Falls 

Newspapers reported the event 
briefly, noting that here was the 
sixth life in the last decade to 
be sacrificed in the line of scien- 
tific duty. The story was brief, 
routine, another item. The next 
day Anna Pabst’s name was for-

ithe world paused, as is their an- 
nual custom on December 27, to 
celebrate the 113th anniversary 
of Louis Pasteur’s birth. 

Each passing year since the 
French chemist died in 1895 has 
seen civilization taking greater 
cognizance of his contributions 
to humanity, until not only doc- 
tors, but the average layman and, 
this year, even the motion pic-

ture industry recognize him as 
the one man who did more for 
mankind than perhaps any other. 

Scientists and doctors, gather- 
ing in New York on Pasteur’s 
birthday, were thrilled at the 
dramatization of his indomitable 
fight against prejudice, profes- 
sional jealousy and the ignorance 
of his time. In “The Story of 
Louis Pasteur,” as portrayed by 
Paul Muni, a Cosmopolitan pro- 
duction which will open at the 
Theatre On 25 e.8 as a 
First National release, the men 
of medicine saw Louis Pasteur 
braving exile, disgrace, poverty 
in order that every human being 
might have added years of life. 

One hundred years ago, when 
Pasteur, the son of a poor tan- 
ner, was a lad of 13, the average 
length of life, as computed re- 
cently by Dr. Louis I. Dublin, one 
of the ten leading statistical au- 
thorities in the world, was only 
40 years. Today the average per- 
son may expect to live more than 
60 years and, says Dr. Dublin, 
the groundwork for this tremen- 
dous forward stride was laid by

and finally an order from the 
King that he stop all research 
that touched upon medical sci-

The Franco-Prussian war flared

fighting a far greater battle.

ignorance—refused to _ believe 
Pasteur had succeeded when they 
had failed. 

It was not until Pasteur staged 
a dramatic public experiment, 
proving his point, that he re-

ceived recognition. 

Back in Paris, he plunged into 
the greatest task of his life-— 
the search for a cure for hydro- 
phobia. At every town, he met 
criticism and scoffing, ignorance 
and jealousy. 

Thousands of persons were dy- 
ing annually from the bites of 
mad animals. There was no 
known cure. Witches chanted 
their incantanations. 


Assailed by Troubles 


One day, Pasteur heard voices 
outside his laboratory. Twenty- 
five Russian peasants, bitten by 
rabid wolves, had come from 
their native land to plead for 
his help. 

Pasteur, facing the greatest 
crisis of his life, ordered them 
isolated in a hospital. His cure 
for rabies had been proven on 
animals and with one young boy. 
Did he dare risk the lives of 25 
men? He knew the penalty for 
failure—exile, disgrace, perhaps 
even the guillotine. 

Worries crowded him. His 
daughter was to bear a child. On 
the evening of the day the child 
was born, a stroke paralyzed his 


side. He. was unconscious for 
days. 

He awoke, remembering the 
Russians. Three had died; the 
others faced almost certain 
death. With indomitable will, 


Pasteur struggled from his sick 
bed and insisted that he be taken 
to the hospital. From his wheel 
chair, he ministered to the re- 
maining Russians and saved the 
life of every one.

Paul Muni Never Forgets 
A Detail In Movie Work 


Star of “The Story of Louis Pasteur” Aids 
Film Editor’s Task 


Ralph Dawson has innumerable grey hairs on his temples, 
caused by worrying about ‘‘hand props’’ for years at First 
National studios here and in England. 

‘‘Hand props’’ are hand properties; that is, eye glasses, 
cigars, cigarettes, pipes, hats, canes, magazines, lipsticks, 
handbags, letters and other objects actors and actresses use 


for bits of business. 


In cutting a picture, ‘‘hand props’’ assume great im- 
portance, Dawson says. Most players forget them. In a long 


have cigars in their 
and in closeups have 
in their right hands. 


shot they 
left hands 
the cigars 


Or in a cooking scene an ac- 
tress will flip pancakes with her 
right hand for the long shot and 
flip them with her left hand for 
the closeup—unless the script 
girl or director catcher her at it. 


There is one actor in Holly- 
wood who never forgets his 
“hand props,” Dawson says. His 
name is Paul Muni and he re- 
membered them in “The Story of 
Louis Pasteur,” the Cosmopolitan 
production, which comes to the 
. tie er THe athe COM... 0.10 je 
as a First National release. 


Dawson edited the film. He 
also edited “Dr. Socrates.” His 


biggest cutting job so far has 
been a “Midsummer Night’s 
Dream” in which he has such 
hand props as fairies’ wands and 
fiddles made from leaves to wor- 
ry about. 

“Mr. Muni realizes the impor- 
tance of handling his ‘hand 
props’ at the proper time, regard- 
less of the number of takes,” 
Dawson says. “As a result, it is 
simple to get a smoothly cut pic- 
ture. 

“It is possible to change the 
camera angles in cutting without 
having to worry about his cigar 
being in his mouth when it should 
be out, or his glasses on his nose 
when they should be in his right 
hand. 


“He so thoroughly steeps him- 
self in the character he is por- 
traying that he works out to the 
finest detail, each little move- 
ment, gesture and piece of busi- 
ness before he comes on the set. 
Unconsciously, if the scene calls 
for him to remove his glasses, he 
invariably removes them at the 
same point of action. 

“You see, the eye follows the 
moving object on the screen. For 
that reason, the film editor usu- 
ally cuts or changes camera ang- 
les at the point of movement, 
such as sitting, rising, turning or 
gesturing. But if the actor does 
not always make these move- 
ments at the same point in the 
dialogue it makes it difficult for 
the editor to cut the picture 
smoothly. 

“The best edited picture is that 
in which one is not conscious of 
cuts. That is why Mr. Muni is 
so particular about never chang- 
ing his actions and pieces of busi- 
ness, nd matter how many differ- 
ent angles are photographed.” 

Dawson says he didn’t find a 
single new grey hair after cut- 
ting “The Story of Louis Pas- 
teur.” 

The picture is a dynamic dra- 
ma of the battle fought for sci- 
ence by Louis Pasteur. Muni has 
the stellar role, others in the cast 
being Josephine Hutchinson, Anita 
Louise, Donald Woods, Fritz Lei- 
ber, Henry O’Neill and Porter 

Hall. William Dieterle directed.

On Completing Picture 


Puts Every Ounce of Energy Into Character of 
Pasteur in “Enemy of Man” 


By CARLISLE JONES 


By the time one of his pictures is finished, Paul Muni is 
sure to have that ‘‘lean and hungry look’’ which is sup- 
posed to appear on the face of a man who thinks too much. 
According to all his associates, Muni is the ‘‘thinkingest 
actor’’ in the whole of Hollywood. 

“‘Long ago David Warfield told me that the only way an 
actor can really get into a part is to practice a kind of 


self hypnosis,” Muni explains. “I 
am inclined to agree with him. 
Before I start a picture and after 
I finish it I am naturally anxious 
that it be a success with the pub- 
lic; that the audiences like it 
and like me in it. 

“But while the picture is in the 
making, while I am playing the 
part, I have no time and no ener- 
gy to think or worry about such 
things. I am too busy thinking 
and worrying about the character 
I am_ playing. 

“The result is that I use up 
an enormous supply of nervous 
energy during the weeks a pic- 
ture is in production. I come out 
of it tired and cross and vowing 
I will never undertake such hard 
work again. But after a few 
weeks of rest and relaxation I 
feel differently about every- 
thing.” 

The actor took time during the 
production of his latest Cosmo- 
politan production, “The Story 
of Louis Pasteur,” which comes 
TO MGHOk si coos & theatre on....... 
as a First National release, to 
talk sketchily about his plans for 
the future and to give his opin- 
ions about his screen work of the 
past. 


May Return to Stage 

“Each time I get ready to 
leave Hollywood for New York 
I am asked the same question,” 
he explained. “‘Are you going 
to do a stage play while you are 
there ? 

“The answer is always the 
same. If I bump into a play I 
like and the chance is offered me 
to play it, Pll probably play it. 
But if I don’t—I won’t. That’s 
all,’ 

“When I first read a seript 
I go over each of the important 
scenes and grade them, much as 
a teacher grades an examination 
paper. I start at fifteen percent, 
however, instead of at zero, and 
I try to rate the dramatic or 
pictorial or comedy value of each 
sequence by a corresponding fig- 
ure. I seldom get above 85 per- 
cent for any one scene. An 85 
percent sequence is, in my opin- 
ion, a great scene. 

“After I’ve graded the scenes 
I add the total and divide and 
then I have a grade for the 
whole script. If it isn’t high 
enough to suit me, I don’t play it. 

“In ‘The Story of Louis Pas- 
teur,’ for example, which is a 


y portrayals 


Paso 


lS —- 
strong story, there are at least 
two scenes which I rated at 85 
percent. This pictures rates, ac- 
cording to my system of grading, 
a little higher in dramatic value 
than ‘I Am a Fugitive’ did. It 
will be interesting to see if my 
grading works out with the pub- 
lie. 

“In no two of the nine pic- 
tures I have made,” Muni went 
on in response to further ques- 
tioning, “have the roles I played 
been similar. I don’t want to play 
two parts that are alike. That 
adds to our difficulties in finding 
new scripts and is one reason I 
have always refused to contract 
myself to make any considerable 
number of pictures each year. 

“Not all my pictures have been 
huge successes, you know. ‘The 
World Changes’ didn’t do as well 
as we hoped it would. 

Must Feel His Roles 

“What I’m trying to say is that 
I have turned down many good 
roles and no doubt will turn 
down many more because they 
are parts that are similar to 
those I’ve already played. Short- 
ly after I appeared first in the 
stage play ‘Counselor at Law’ a 
woman playwright brought me a 
script of a new play. 

“ Tt fits you exactly,’ she said. 
‘It’s exactly the kind of a part 
you played in ‘Counselor at Law.’ 

“T am indulging deeply in an 
actor’s worst habit—that of talk- 
ing about himself. It’s probably 
the subject I know most about. 
But I’d rather talk about Rus- 
sia, which I visited last year or 
about walnuts, which I raise, in 
small quantities, on my Van Nuys 
ranch. 

“The Story of Louis Pasteur” 
is a thrilling drama of the life 
of the famous scientist, Louis 
Pasteur, who discovered the cure 
for rabies. Muni has the stellar 
role while others in the east in- 
clude Josephine Hutchinson, 
Anita Louise, Donald Woods, 
Fritz Leiber and Porter Hall. 
William Dieterle directed.

To him, the most artistic set 
in the picture is Pasteur’s farm- 
house. It is a stone dwelling with 
a thatched roof. In front is an 
old wooden pump and there is a 
stone wall off to the left. It 
stands in a grove of poplars. The

Movie Magic Transforms 


Into France 


Art Director for “Story of Louis Pasteur’? Turns 


65 Years 


Art Director Robert Haas transformed a section of the 
Santa Paula Valley of California of today into the province 


1870. 


With some lumber, wall paper, paint, furniture and car- 
pets he built the reception room of Emperor Napoleon ILI, 
the council chamber of the French Academy of Medicine, 


Haas had to forget his dislike 
for plush and velvet in designing 
a portion of the emperor’s pal- 
ace. A massive room, with cupids 
on the ceiling, and with flowered 
walls, was built and filled with 
French furniture of the period. 
Every chair in that room is a 
character chair. 

It was in designing the Pasteur 
kitchen, where Josephine Hutch- 
inson as Mrs. Pasteur, and Anita 
Louis, as Annette Pasteur, pre- 
side, that Haas really enjoyed 
himself. He had opportunity to 
demonstrate his flair for sim- 
plicity, for plain lines and plain, 
almost harsh furnishings. The 
chimney corner with its shining 
copper kettles and pots is a Haas’ 
masterpiece. 

The most elaborate part of the 
set building program for the pic- 
ture was the building of Paris. 
Old sets on the back of the First 
National lot were cleared away 
and portions of the old city con- 
structed there.

ses Identity 


many parts, and Paul Muni 


He has changed his identity hundreds of times. Some- 
times he has been an old man, sometimes a lawyer, some- 


times a criminal. 

But there is one part he has 
never played in front of the 
eamera or the footlights—he has 
never portrayed Paul Muni. 

“And I wish I could,” he says. 
“Tt would be so much less work.” 

They say the camera never lies. 

In the case of James Cagney, 
for instance, this is true. The 
man you see on the screen is 
James Cagney. Even though he 
plays the part of a public enemy, 
a super salesman or the ruler of 
the Barbary Coast, he never quite 
loses his identity. Always there 
is some quality in every charac- 
ter he plays that is essentially 
Cagney. 

And this is true of, other play- 
ers—of Anita Louise, Josephine 
Hutchinson, Donald Woods, Olivia 
De Havilland, Jean Muir, Joan 
Blondell, Erroll Flynn or Guy 
Kibbee. In each instance, the 
characters they play have some 
of the characteristies of the play- 
ers. 

In the case of Muni, starring 
in “The Story of Louis Pasteur,” 
the Cosmopolitan picture now 
showing at the .....-. Theatre as 
a First National release, the 
camera never tells the truth. The 
lens never penetrates the dis- 
guise, never sees that it is Muni 
hiding behind Pasteur’s whisk- 
ers, or Dr. Cardwell’s moustache, 
or Jan’s bewildered and begrimed 
countenance. Muni won’t let the 
eamera see him as he is. He’s 
afraid the audience wouldn’t like 
him. 

At the age of 11, when he 
joined his parents’ troupe, Muni 
began losing himself in the char- 
acters he played. There was @ 
good reason then. He was a child, 
yet he was cast as an old man 
usually. Being some one else be-

side himself became second na- 
ture. 

In those repertory days, when 
the company presented three or 
four plays a week—plays by An- 
dreyev, Gorki, Ibsen, Chekov—he 
was three or four other men each 
week. 

“T never played a young man 
until I appeared in the New York 
production of ‘Four Walls,,”’ Muni 
says. “In that I didn’t play my- 
self. I was another young man. 

“Tt isn’t easy to be someone 
else. To be Pasteur, for instance, 
hag taken weeks of hard work. 
Long before the picture started 
I began submerging myself in 
him, eradicating every trace of 
myself. 

“J had to change my face, 
widen my forehead, raise my 
hairline and grow portly. But 
the physical part of it was by 
no means difficult. Any make-up 
man can change your appear- 
ance. Changing my voice, my 
mannerisms, my personality, was 
the hardest. 

“Sometimes I am tempted to 
allow some part of me to re- 
main in the character I am cre- 
ating. Then I think—“‘the public 
doesn’t want to see Muni — it 
wants to see Burns, the fugitive, 
or Searface, or Jan, the coal 
miner, or Dr. Cardwell, the gang- 
ster’s doctor, or Pasteur, the 
great scientist.” 

“The Story of Louis Pasteur” 
is the startling drama of the sci- 
entist’s fight with the ignorance 
prevailing at his time and his 
effort to save life by science. 
Muni is the star while others in 
the cast include Josephine Hutch- 
inson, Anita Louise, Donald 
Woods and Fritz Leiber. 


PAUL 


Paul Muni was born Muni 
Weisenfreud in Vienna on NSep- 
tember 22nd, 1897, making him 
an Austrian, but as his family 
came to the United States when 
he was very young he regards 
himself as a 100 per cent Ameri- 
can. 

Was educated in the New York 
schools, but his schooling was 
often interrupted by professional 
stage work from his eleventh 
year on. He is one of a theatrical 
and musical family, his father 
and mother being actors, and his 
two brothers, musicians. 

Since his early childhood, his 
ambition was to be a great fig- 
ure on the stage. His first oppor- 
tunity came when he was travel- 
ing with his family. They were 
about to open in a small town 
and needed an actor to play an 
old man’s role. No actor being 
available, they tried the boy out 
and he was kept in that part 
from that time on. This was the 
first of the many “old man” 
character roles he hag played. 

The stage play, “We Ameri- 
cans,” brought him his first ree- 
ognition in the New York theatre, 
although he had played for sev- 
eral seasons with the Theatre 
Guild and other art theatres. 

His present ambition is to be 
allowed to continue his career 
along the lines fig has laid out for 
himself Never tolbe™ sd”?

A Vignette 


MUNI 


He regards “Counsellor at 
Law” as his favorite stage play, 
“T Am A Fugitive From A Chain 
Gang” as his favorite picture, 
and “Seven Faces” as his worst 
picture. 

Music is his great interest out- 
side of the theatre. Has studied 
it since he was four years old 
and loves it. 

He is an exceedingly fine vio- 
linist and could undoubtedly 
make a success on the concert 
stage should he ever give up act- 
ing—which he emphatically will 
not. Also might like to manage 
prize fighters. 

He is mad about the music of 
Beethoven and Bach. For light 
modern music he approves of Je- 
rome Kern. 

Prefers the stage to the screen. 
Says, “Contrary to common be- 
lief I do not think the screen 
gives an actor more leisure or 
home life.” 

He prefers New York as a 
place to live, but states that he 
is “getting used to Hollywood” 
and doesn’t mind it any more. 
Buys his clothes in New York, 
saying that his tailor knows ex- 
actly what he wants. 

He is one actor who states

Qld Time Circus Will Be 
Seen In New Muni Picture 


Wandering Shows of 1880 Duplicated in 
“Story of Louis Pasteur” 


A eireus is a circus to any child even though it doesn’t 
reach the gigantic dimensions of the tented spectacles of 


today. 


There was a time when a Punch and Judy show, a trained 


bear, a few acrobats, a flame 


snake charmer and a wagon 


eater, a sword swallower, a 


load of gypsies made a very 


satisfactory circus for young and old. 


That was back in 1880 when 
Louis Pasteur was hunting mi- 
crobes. 

A cireus such as Pasteur took 
his children to see was given in 
the Simi valley of California dur- 
ing the filming of “The Story of 
Louis Pasteur,” the Cosmopolitan 
production, which comes to the 
le TE Theatre on......--+ 


Pasteur. 

The show was not a large af- 
fair but quite gay. There were 
six gaily painted wagons. In one 
was the fire eater, in another was 
the sword swallower, in another 
was the Punch and Judy show, 
in the fourth was the snake 
charmer, in the fifth were the 
acrobats and in the sixth were 
the gypsy fortune tellers. : 

Several little striped, tents had 
been put up and in these men 
with long whiskers and women 
in long dresses sold dolls, canes, 
parasols, cut out lambs, cats 
which cried and dogs which 
didn’t. In front of another tent 
was a one-man band playing 
French provincial airs. Strolling 
around was a man with a bag 
pipe. 


Right behind him was the 


ee 


trained bear. The man didn’t 
play the bag pipe because the 
bear didn’t like it and no one 
blamed him. 

William Quinlan, First Na- 
tional set dresser said that the 
circus was true to the period in 
every respect. He called in two 
itinerant photographers carrying 
cameras made in Pasteur’s time 
who showed how the cameras 
worked without shutters. They 
were operated with lens caps. 

The circus was of the wander- 
ing type such as to be found on 
the Continent at the time. It 
went any place where crowds col- 
lected. It is shown in the picture 
in a scene in which a great erowd 
had gathered to watch Pasteur 
perform an experiment on some 
sheep. 

The picture is a dynamic dra- 
ma of the battle fought for sci- 
ence by Pasteur. Besides Muni, 
the cast includes Josephine 
Hutchinson, Anita Louise, Don- 
ald Woods, Fritz Leiber, Henry 
O’Neill and Porter Hall. William 
Dieterle directed the picture 
from the screen play by Sheri- 
dan Gibney and Pierre Collings.

Two hours and ten

What went on in those two 
hours and ten minutes? How does 
4 man become another man who 
has been dead for many years? 

To find the answer to these 
questions, we lay in wait for 
Mr. Muni the other morning. 

We are not accustomed to get- 
ting up at seven. We were a little 
skeptical about Mr. Muni being 
up. He was. He was sitting in a 
barber chair, and though he had 
a fine black beard he wasn’t 
waiting for a shave, He wanted 
more, not less, whiskers. 

The morning we watched Mr. 
Muni being made up as Louis

work. Usually he assists Pere

Campbell only looked at the pic-

stand over prostrate forms in 
barber chairs, Mr, Campbell had 
nothing to say. Mr. Muni did 
the talking. 

“First we raise my hair line 
two inches,” Mr. Muni explained, 
“You see, my hair line is two 
inches lower than Pasteur’s.”’ 

That sounded difficult, It was. 
It took one hour. Mr. Campbell’s 
fingers flew from make-up box to 
Mr. Muni’s forehead. Gradually 
the hair line receded. At half 
past seven it was one inch high- 
er. At eight it was two inches 
higher and you ecouldn’t tell that 
it wasn’t always that way.

Star of “Story of Louis Pasteur” Credits

Historians who credit Louis Pasteur, the great French 


sientist, with revolutionizing the 


theory of medicine and 


giving many added years of life to the average human, have 


werlooked one of his chief bene- 
fuctions—the gift of dogs as pets

Muni is himself a dog lover 


d perhaps that is why he took

“Most people nowadays are in-

older. 

“We grow more beard now,” 
Mr. Muni said. “They didn’t give 
me time to raise enough of my 
own so we add a few.” 

That only took a few minutes. 
A tuft of hair was applied to the 
lower lip. A few bits were glued 
on here and there, 

“Now comes the ordeal,” Mr. 


Muni said. “I get a’ new skin on 
the upper part of my face.” 


Pasteur Lives Again 


Mr. Campbell applied strange 
liquids and worked them in. He 
was very careful about it for he 
had to create artificial skin tex- 
ture over the original Muni hair 
line. Little wrinkles appeared. 
The brow became deeply fur- 
rowed. There wasn’t a trace of 
Mr. Muni’s face left. 

He sat up and surveyed him- 
self in the mirror. Then he took 
a picture out of his pocket and 
handed it to us. 

“That is Pasteur,” he said. 

We looked at the photograph. 
We looked at the man in the 
chair. They were identical. 

Mr. Muni put on a padded 
shirt and slipped into a coat. 
Now he was portly and a littie 
stooped. His voice changed. His 
mannerisms changed. 

And when he walked out into 
the sunshine and headed for the 
stage where William Dieterle, 
the director, was awaiting him, 
he was Mr. Muni no longer. Louis 
Pasteur had come back to life.

in these days, but that isn’t be- 
cause rabies is decreasing. It’s 
simply that in my own boyhood 
they made such a fuss about one 
mad dog that every other animal

Muni long ago gratified his boy- 
hood ambition to own a dog. He 
keeps two of them in his home—

doesn’t exhibit them because he 
thinks dog shows are a strain on

mankind saved countless millions 
of lives, as the subject of the 
first biographical film of a great 
man of science. 

When the Cosmopolitan pro- 
duction “The Story of Louis

leading role, opens at the... ._.. 
“ueatre On. as a First

how the man was sustained in hig

Search and termed historically ac- 
curate. 

Born in Dole, 
years ago, Pasteur was the son 
of a poor tanner. He studied 
chemistry and at an early age 
Was impressed by the suffering 
in the world and by the fact that 
medical men of hig day appar- 
ently knew little about the causes 
of most ailments. 

He undertook a series of ex- 
periments which succeeded and 
which began a chain of develop- 
ments that since hag given the 
average human at least 20 years 
more of life. Statistica] experts 
of the Metropolitan Life Insur- 
ance Co. estimate that a child 
born a century ago was destined 
to live an average of only 40 
years, whereas the infant of 1936 
should live more than 60 years. 

The world recognizes that Pas- 
teur laid the foundation for this 
tremendous good to mankind, but 
in his own time he was for years 
derided, scoffed, called a hum- 
bug.

“Be Story of Louis Pasteur’ 


Paul Muni Helps To Herd 


Sheep For His New Film 


Director Insists on Continental Method for 
“Story of Louis Pasteur”’ 


By DAN MAINWARING 


William Dieterle, one of Warner Bros. ace picture di- 
rectors, has never herded sheep. He has been a carpenter, a 
glazier, and an actor, among other things, but never a 


shepherd. 


Sheridan Gibney and Pierre Collings, the playwrights, 
also are men whose sheep-tending education was sadly 
neglected. The only thing they have had to do with sheep 


was write about herding them 
in “The Story of Louis Pasteur,” 
the Cosmopolitan production now 
showans ab the. tu. <a, Theatre 
as a First National release. 

Paul Muni went on the stage 
at the age of twelve and until 
he was fifteen he hadn’t seen a 
live sheep. 

Tony Gaudio can herd a cam- 
era. But he knows nothing about 
lambs, ewes or rams. For a long 
time he thought that wool, like 
cotton, grew on bushes. 

Your correspondent, on _ the 
other hand, has herded quite a 
few sheep in his time. He is not 
what one would call an expert 
shepherd because he never could 
bake sour dough bread. 

But he understands the rudi- 
ments of sheep herding. He has 
found that the best thing to do 
is to turn the sheep loose and 
find a nice shade tree to sleep 
under while the dogs do the 
work. Naturally when he heard 
that four men who were totally 
ignorant of the fine points of 
sheep herding were ¢1 route. to

herded, your correspondent was 
interested. 

The sheep sequence was re- 
quired for “The Story of Louis 
Pasteur,” in which Paul Muni is 
starred, and which Dieterle is 
directing. 

There was one real shepherd on 
hand. He was Tony Robles who 
has herded sheep from San Juan 
Capistrano to Clipper Gap. Rob- 
les, his eight sheep dogs, and, his 
seven herders, were hired to drive 
the sheep. 

The sheep were not at all im- 
pressed with the company. They

didn’t even look at Muni when 
he drove up. Your correspondent 
did because Muni was wearing a 
fine set of whiskers. 

One of the big blue trucks was 
loaded with dead sheep. Your 
correspondent left off examining 
Mr. Muni’s beard and took a look 
at the sheep carcasses. They 
looked real but they weren’t. 
They were skins stuffed with 
sawdust, newspapers, excelsior 
and copies of old publicity stor- 
ies. 

Noting your  correspondent’s 
puzzled expression, Dieterle 
handed him a copy of the script 
and pointed to page 37, which 
read: 

“Long shot of the gigantic herd 
thundering down the road with 
several sheep left lying about 
on the ground—dead with an- 
thrax. 

“Medium close shot, a hilltop— 
the thunder of the bleating herd 
as it sweeps over the camera 

“Another ‘herd being driven at 
breakneec” “ace through a shal- 


eu by the way 

The screen writers’ ignorance 
of sheep herding ws evident 
from the sheep. 

“Who ever heard sheep thun- 
der?” your correspondent asked. 

“That’s dramatic license,” said 
Dieterle. 

By this time, Robles, a brown 
old fellow with grey hair, wear- 
ing the garb of a French peas- 
ant, came up for instructions. 

“Drive them up over that hill 
and down toward the camera,” 
Dieterle said. “Then take them 
over the lane that crosses the 
creek. We’ll follow.” 

The herd got underway. The 
herders, as is their wont, picked 
up little clods and tossed them 


-at their baaing chargers. 


“Stop,” yelled Dieterle. “Not 


“that way.” 


Your correspondent wasamazed. 


‘They had done nothing wrong. 
California 
“throw clods at their sheep. Some- 


shepherds always 
times they throw big sticks and 
cobble stones if any are handy. 

“But they don’t do it that way 
in France,” said Dieterle. “You 
see, I never herded sheep but 
I’ve seen a lot of fine French and 
German sheepherding. They have 
little trowels on the ends of their 
taffs and with the trowels they 
coop up earth and toss it at the 
heep. Then they don’t have to 
end over.” 

All went well after that. The 
sheep’ came over the hill and ran 
toward the camera. And the agile 
property men dropped the prop 
sheep carcasses by the wayside. 
_ Robles did pretty well, too, 
only he didn’t make the sheep 
thunder. No one could do that, 
not even a man who has been 
herding sheep for fifty years. 
Sheep never thunder nor travel 
at breakneck speed.

‘‘Story of Louis Pasteur” 


Doctors Who See New Paul Muni Film Pay Tribute 
To Great Scientist 


Marking the 113th anniversary of the birth of Louis 
Pasteur, the French scientist who revolutionized the theory 
of medicine more than 50 prominent doctors attended a 
special preview of the motion picture, ‘‘The Story of Louis 
Pasteur,’’ at the New York office of Warner Bros., on De- 


cember 27th, 1935. 


Among those present were Drs. Louis I. Dublin, vice- 


president of the Metropolitan 
Life Insurance Co., and Alfred 
J. Lotka, statistical expert for 
that company, who are the au- 
thors of a forthcoming book, 
“Length of Life,” which shows 
that the life span of the average 
man has been increased by more 
than 20 years since Pasteur in- 
troduced his theories on the part 
germs played in causing disease. 

The lives of countless millions 
have been saved through Pas- 
teur’s discoveries according to 
Drs. Lotka and Dublin. 


Dr. A. J. Crumbine, director of 
the American Child Health As- 
sociation, who also was present 
at the showing of the film, which 
will open at the....... . theatre 
mph ee Goss , declared that public 
ignorance which hampered Pas- 
teur in his life-time still handi- 
caps medical advancement and 
that much is to be gained by 
awakening the mothers and 
fathers of America to the bene- 
fits of science which are available 
to them. 

Recommended to Parents 

“This is a picture which every 
mother and father should see,” 
Dr. Crumbine said. “Louis Pasteur 
made certain benefits available 


to mothers and children, but un- 
fortunately the world still is not 
profiting to the utmost from his 
revolutionary discoveries.” 

Dr. John L. Rice, Health Com- 
missioner of New York City, who 
also attended, added that even 
in New York many mothers and 
children die unnecessarily through 
ignorance of hospital facilities 
which they might have for the 
asking. Dr. Charles Bolduan, di- 
rector of the New York Bureau 
of Public Health Education, and 
Savil Zimond, assistant director, 
also attended the preview. 

Also present was Dr. William 
Freeman Snow, member of the 
board of directors of the Na- 
tional Health Council and a di- 
rector of the American Social 
Hygience Society. 

“Men like Louis Pasteur are 
working in laboratories through- 
out the world today,’ he said. 
“But, like Pasteur, they work be- 
hind the scenes, unknown to the 
public whom they benefit as much 
or more than any soldier or 
statesman. It gave me_ great 
pleasure to see the life of Pas-

ae TAT ILL yp, 


Startling Feat 
of Science Seen 
in Film Drama 


Fifty years ago, Louis Pasteur, 
the great scientist, used his rabies 
serum on a human for the first 
time and saved the life of 9-year- 
old Joseph Meister. 


This dramatic experiment 
which cut the death rate of the 
dread disease to less than one per 
cent, is reenacted in the Cosmo- 
politan production, “The Story of 
Louis Pasteur,” which is being 
shown at the Theatre 
as a First National release. 

Paul Muni portrays Pasteur. 
Dickie Moore takes the part of 
the Meister boy. 

While the camera and micro- 


pe. WSUS 


phone recorded the scene, the boy — 


whose life was really saved was 
going about his duties as janitor 
in the Pasteur Institute in Paris. 

The scene was accurate in 
every detail. Before it was made, 
First National’s Paris representa- 
tives located Meister at the In- 
stitute and heard him tell the 
story of how Pasteur actually 
gave him the rabies treatment 
fifty years ago. 

“The Story of Louis Pasteur” 
is the thrilling drama of Pas- 
teur’s fight againse the ignorance 
prevailing at his time, to save 
life bx «°* Jthers in the cast

discovery.””», 

Louis Pastear was bor 
Dole, France, the son of a , a 
tunner. He died in 1895. 

Curiously enough, this 
who contributed more to 
health of mankind than probably 
any other single individual, was 
not himself a doctor, but a chem- 
ist, whose work happened to di- 
rect his interests especially to 
problems in biology. Throughout 
his lifetime he fought constantly 
against the prejudice and ignor- 
ance of medical men of his day. 

Risked Life for Boy 

Once, when a mother pleaded 
with him to treat her son for 
rabies and thereby save his life, 
Pasteur was threatened with 
exile, disgrace and possibly death 
on the guillotine. Yet he defied 
the men of science, treated the 
lad and saved him. This youth, 
now grown to manhood, resides in 
Paris, hale and hearty, the 
father of seven children. His 
name is Joseph Meister. 

Again when a plague of rabies 
swept Russia and a flood of men 
facing death came to him for aid, 
Pasteur was forced to stand alone 
against the barrage of criticism 
and attack that came from medi- 
cal men who refused to recognize 
any departure from the tradi- 
tional methods. 

Before the advent of inocula- 
tion the annual death rate from 
diphtheria, for example, was over 
125 per 100,000, and occasionally 
rose to 300 per 100,000 in New 
York City. Since the use of 
antitoxin was introduced, the 
death rate from this disease has 
dropped rapidly, until today it 
hovers around zero in many cities. 

The motion picture, “The Story 
of Louis Pasteur,” a Cosmopoli- 
tan Production released by First 
National, is the first biographi- 
cal film of a great man of séi- 
ence. Paul Muni plays the role 
of Louis Pasteur, Josephine 
Hutchinson is Madame Pasteur 
and Anita Louise is Annette Pas 
teur, their daughter. William Die- 
terle, of “A Midsummer Night’s 
Dream” fame, directed the pro- 
duction.

Film Players Take 
Off Shoes to Rest 


Both actors and actresses in 
the Cosmopolitan picture, 
“Enemy of Man,” which comes

OTe tae te » removed 
their shoes for half an hour 
each day during the filming 
of the production. 

The idea was that of Paul 
Muni, the star who is play- 
ing the part of Louis Pasteur, 
the famous scientist. Muni be- 
lieves that he cannot rest 
properly with his shoes on. As 
the work on this picture was 
very trying he spent half an 
hour each noon lying flat on 
his back with his shoes off and 
a black hood over his face. 

This strange performance 
was noticed by other players, 
who inquired what was the big 
idea. When Muni told them, 
they all decided to try it. The 
plan seemed to work for they 
kept it up throughout the pic- 
ture. 

The cast includes Josephine 
Hutchinson, Anita Louise, 
Donald Woods and a score of’ 
others. 


Muni’s Clerk Never

Muni’s Aide 


The presence of Henry O’Neill

tistant to Louis Pasteur, por-

juvenile role in the Cosmopolitan 
production, “The Story of Louis

Wife Always Present 
When Muni Works 


Probably the most inseparable 
of Hollywood’s happily married 
couples are Mr. and Mrs. Paul 
Muni. Mrs. Muni, the former 
Bella Finkel, stage actress, stays 
constantly on the set when her 
famous husband is working, at 
his request. When he is at home, 
she “has to sneak away from 
him,” she says, even to get inwa 
solitary shopping trip. At pres-

Don’t Marry an Actor, 
Says Actress 


An actress shouldn’t marry an 
actor if she wants to be happy. 
She should marry an agent—not 
a book agent, but an actor’s 
agent. 

This is the advice of Josephine 
Hutchinson, who plays opposite 
Paul Muni in “The Story of 
Louis Pasteur,” the Cosmopolitan 
production which comes to the 
Mees rd: Theatre:vonase ee 
Miss Hutchinson knows this is 
good advice—she married her 
own agent, Jimmy Townsend. 

“Agents understand their cli- 
ents,” Miss Hutchinson says. 
“They have to. get along with 
them. They know. each player’s 
whims and idiosyncrasies. They 
understand the peculiar self-en- 
grossment that each player must 
have to be real on the stage or 
screen.” 


Henry O’Neill One of 
Film’s ‘‘Reliables”’ 


The “old reliables” play an im- 
portant part in the success of 
any motion picture. These are 
the established, dependable play- 
ers, whose names are seldom seen 
in lights on theatre marquees, 
but who carry the burden of the 
smaller roles so well that the 
whole tone of the production is 
improved by their presence. 

Henry O’Neill is one such “re- 
liable.” An experienced actor, 
with a successful stage career as 
a background, O’Neill handles 
his roles with the ease and au- 
thority of the true veteran. His 
name in a cast is assurance that 
one part will be played expertly. 
No director worries about him, 
or his ability to play any given 
character.

No Gum Chewing in

“No gum chewing, now!” 

That’s a frequent order on

Why no gum chewing? Because 
it would be an anachronism ae-

violation of Emily Post’s dicta, 
or against the rules of some insti- 
tution being picturized. There

“bhe Story of Levis Pasteur’ 


IMPORTANT 


Seldom has such acclaim heralded 
the approach of a motion picture as 
that which has preceded ‘‘The Story 
of Louis Pasteur.”’ 

Although it was originally sched- 
uled for release one month 
from now, the pressure of 
public interest and demand, 
fostered by excited press re- 
ports from Hollywood, has 
become so great that we 


have been forced to postpone 
other attractions in order 


to bring this important pro- 
duction in immediately. 

One of the most unusual and im- 
portant films ever produced, ‘‘The 
Story Of Louis Pasteur’’ dramatically 
portrays the thrilling life story of one 
of the truly great heroes of all time— 
the man who braved a thousand deaths 
that countless millions might live. 

It is a picture which we present 


with pride and unhesitatingly recom- 

mend to every one of our patrons. 

Screened by Warner Bros. on a 

lavish scale worthy of its great sub- 

ject, it provides Paul Muni with the 
most powerful role of his ca- 
reer, supported by a huge cast 
including such film notables 
as Josephine Hutchinson, 
Anita Louise, Donald Woods, 
Fritz Leiber. 


Unfortunately, the demands of 
world-wide booking contracts 


permit only a limited engage- 

ment. We therefore urge you to 
see this momentous film during the 
early part of its run. We are confident 
you will find it one of the most memor- 
able screen experiences of your life 
and that it will be excitedly discussed 
for many, many months to come.

WAS HE HERO.. 


Was he one of the 
bravest men who ever 
lived...fighting the dead- 
liest public enemies 
on the face of the globe 
to save womankind 
from a hideous fate... 


OR MONSTER? 


Or was he the greatest 
menace the world has 
ever known... playing 
with helpless women’s 
lives to make himself 
king of the earth’s in- 
visible underworld?

YOU COULD SQ) HEAR A 
PIN ‘DROP 


Yesterday a thronged audience saw the first performance in this 
city of “The Story ot Louis Pasteur. * Literally, you couid hear a 
pin drop as they sat through its 87 electric minutes. There was no 
applause when the picture ended. A far greater tribute—the hushed 


silence of deep emotion—grested the climax of this amazing film. 


‘The Story of Louis Pasteur” is that kind of picture! 
No gang wars—but a hiclone singlehanded battle against 
the ruthless killers of an unseen world. No grease- paint 
heroics— but’ the real-life drama of the man who braved a 
thousand deaths that countless! millions might live. Today you 


can take heart and courage from the bravest story ever told!
